Thanks for the info.
In looking at the pics you posted of your jersey, I noticed the striations appearing in the blue part of the collar. This was the style of jersey worn last season. The jersey I received last week has no such striations on the collar and so I"m wondering if, regardless of whether or they be "game", "limited", or "elite" styles, these are the 2016 models that they'll be selling to the public (not necessarily worn by the players) - complete with the smaller #'s across the style spectrum.
If that's the case, then I'd prefer to get the Mitchell and Ness versions to have the larger number font. But I kinda wanted to show support to some current players.
